Ted E. Makers is the perfect alternative to Build-a-Bear. You can host bear parties and stuffed animal parties so easily in your own home. No more schlepping to a mall. Birthday parties can be so easy, but still memorable and fun by doing it on your own. Not to mention less expensive! And, forget the stuffing machine! Most kids like it better when they get to put the stuffing inside themselves. With our stuffed animal skins, that’s exactly what you do. You just choose from the animals below, and we send them to you unstuffed, with stuffing on the side, birth certificates and wishing stars to tuck inside the animal for good luck. It is so beary simple!
